Beneath a gray sky, rainwater had collected in a hole in the ground where Rana Plaza once stood, creating a small, murky pond. Rubble and pieces of rebar were strewn around the water's edge. It was hard to believe that an eight-story building with thousands of garment workers once stood in this small lot, steps away from a busy main road.
